Clothing Trends that Never Go Out Of Style

Some trends are evergreen, some you miss in the blink of an eye. Some remain little known, some become couture. Style is an individual expression while fashion can be opinionated and reflects the time. Recent trends hark back to the 90’s, the era of frilled sleeves and bell bottoms in western attire, an era of long kurtas and printed clothing in the Indian version. However, some trends you can wear again and again without fearing they’d lose their relevance. So here’s a few of them in a quick list. Pro tip- stock up on these and you won’t ever complain of having nothing to wear!
